  1. SciScore for 10.1101/2020.05.10.20094946: (What is this?)

    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    No key resources detected.


    Results from OddPub: Thank you for sharing your code.


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    The time bought should be utilized to intensify the surveillance among ‘at-risk’ individuals and buttress the health infrastructure including hospital beds with oxygen availability and critical care beds with ventilators and telemedicine.(24-26) The results of this study should be interpreted with certain caveats apart from the inherent limitations of crowd-sourcing nature of the data. The estimates might be influenced by certain effect modifiers and confounders like population density, climatic variations and violation of assumption of random mixing, yet the methods are robust in terms of conditional independence and MCMC methods used to tackle the Bayesian influence. Conceptually, this phenomenon is dynamic and non-linear in nature and hence should be read with caution

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
